julie christie - Spearmint

I didn’t want to say out loud

in case it came untrue

but I now know why I’m on this earth

to try to be with you

oh can’t you tell I’m different now

by the music that I play

the songs I thought were soppy before

sound wonderful today

alright, alright

it’s the music that I love

alright, alright

it’s the music that I love

she looks like Julie Christie

and she’s blotted out my past

she had it all laid out for me

I never stood a chance

we took the essence of Felt and Vic Godard

and we blasted into space

and then we showered down on everyone

the whole soppy human race

alright, alright

it’s the music that I love

alright, alright

it’s the music that I love

I’m lying in the bed

I’m lying in the bed

I’m holding on to you

holding on to you

I’m supposed to be meeting little Jim

but why would I be any happier out there than I am in here, in here

I’ve wanted to say this for so long

but I haven’t had the nerve

I realise now what I’ve been missing

you looked like Julie Christie when I met you

I wanted to laugh out loud

oh can’t you tell I’m different now

I’m smiling in the crowd

alright, alright

it’s the music that I love

alright, alright

it’s the music that I love

alright, alright

it’s the music that I love

alright

alright, alright

it’s the music that I love
